Introduce Yourself

[MBersalona]

intro

1. Name
Mark Bersalona

2. Why you are here
I'm developing a cryptogram application for iPhone - a dictionary lookup tool, not a game (so I'm not competing with the Cryptograms.org app!) - and needed to test it against lots of cryptograms; found my way to this site and am having a blast "testing" the app against cryptograms I wouldn't have a chance solving otherwise, though I am finding my cryptogram solving skills are improving. Love how the online puzzles fill in all the matching letters, saves a lot of time by not needing to copy to paper and all. I'm still amazed other folks are solving puzzles in under 30 seconds??

3. Random fact(s) about you
Only learned how to use chopsticks about 3 years ago; I think its an elegant way to eat versus poking miniature pitchforks and shovels into your mouth, at least as long as the food is suitable for chopsticks.

4. Favorite ice-cream flavor
Cookies and cream

5. A deep dark secret coded in a cryptogram
Ummmm...

Heyo

Hi, I am back! You might be wondering who I am: I am Cryptoid :P

Have you changed your mind about your favorite ice cream? Do you have any new cats?

Have you changed your mind about your favorite ice cream? Do you have any new cats?

As a matter of fact, yes on both regards! I have three cats now! Goofy, Hannah, and Dakota

In fact, there is also a funny story with Dakota:

We didn't exactly choose to get him... You see, my stepdad was driving through a parking lot when a young kitten crossed the road in front of him. He slammed on the brakes, and the kitten passed by without noticing a thing (he was fine). So, my stepdad got out of the car to see if the cat was OK, and he couldn't find him anywhere! So, after searching for a while, he assumed the kitten had run off, so he got back in his car and drove off. He proceeded to drive to his job for a short visit so he could pick up his check, which was far away, and he had to go over two big bridges to get there... Then he drove to the grocery store, and then all the way back home. Then, for some reason he heard a meowing sound. It turns out the cat had lodged in the spare-tire's compartment the entire time! It is amazing he is still alive today

Also, I am Vegan now, so I can't have Ice Cream anymore

Oh well, Vegan Ice Cream tastes good too ^_^

Please let me know if someone solves it

Small question please, how is it possible to solve the cryptos. in less than 15 seconds?? There must be something wrong

[smoochie222]

You study in an engineering college

There's nothing wrong; fast typing, good memories, are the skills needed.

[bansaisequoia]

eng_heema, we all know you go to some sort of engineering school, but you have a crypto which has 5 characters which appear nowhere else in your cryptogram. Can you tell us what those other 5 characters represent? In other words, what do they mean?
